“Daddy” is a musical tug-of-war in which Aya Nakamura and SMD act out a lovers’ argument in real time. Aya feels betrayed and reminds her partner that he hurt her, “y a un bémol” (literally, a flat note) in their story. She refuses to be lumped in with his groupies and calls him out for ignoring the clock — the time to fix things has run out. Her nickname for him, Daddy, sounds sweet but is loaded with sarcasm, setting the tone for a playful yet heated conversation set to an irresistible Afro-pop beat.

SMD fires back, insisting Aya is the only one for him, yet he complains that she never listens. Both repeat “tu m’écoutes pas” (you don’t listen to me), showing that the real problem is a breakdown in communication. Accusations of pride, money, and social-media blocks swirl while their chemistry keeps pulling them together, leaving the question open: will they calm down and believe in each other, or let the bémol turn their love off-key for good? The song captures the push-and-pull of modern romance, making every French line a lesson in love, slang, and catchy rhythm all at once.
